The Magnum GURU® Plug is a higher discharge capacity version of the standard GURU® Plug. The Magnum GURU® Plug is a self-operating thermostatic drain valve that responds to engine coolant temperature and will pop open and drain when coolant reaches the set-point (35°F or 40°F). This provides almost a full 1.2 inch bore to rapidly drain a locomotive before freeze damage can occur. Resetting and rearming the Magnum GURU® Plug is easily accomplished by simply reheating the cartridge and utilizing the slotted actuator feature with the GURU® Flag and Clip tool. This feature prevents the GURU® Plug from triggering open again while refilling the cooling system with cold water.
